Design Criteria
Determine the seismic design actions (base shear: V, vertical distribution of V: Fx, story
shear: Vx and overturning moment: Mx) for a 4-storey special moment resisting reinforced
concrete residential building located in Port-of Spain, Trinidad on Site Class D soil. The story
heights are all 3.6 m. The plan area is 30 m wide by 52.5 m long. The total dead load (self-
weight) is 5.8 KN/m2 at all levels.
The moment frame consists of two, four-bay frames in the transverse direction (shorter
direction) and two, seven-bay frames in the longitudinal direction (longer direction).
See attached drawings at the end of the report.

CALCULATIONS
Main Procedure Calculations:
1. Risk Category = II (from ASCE 7-10, table 1.5-1)
2. Seismic Importance Factor, Ie = 1.0 (from ASCE 7-10 table 1.5-2)
3. Ss, S1, & TL:
. .
S = 1.11 = 1.671 g (from seismic hazard map & risk
coefficient table)
. .
S = 1.10 = 0.465 g (from seismic hazard map & risk
coefficient table)
T = 12 seconds
4. Site Class = D → Stiff soil profile (from ASCE 7-10, table 20.3-1)
5. Fa & Fv:
F! = 1.0 (from ASCE 7-10, table 11.4-1)
F! = 1.6 (from ASCE 7-10, table 11.4-2)
6. SDS & SD1:
S" = 2$3 S% (SMS is required)
S" = 2$3 S% (SM1 is required)
S % = F! S &
= 1.0 x 1.671 = 1.671 g
S % = F( S
= 1.6 x 0.465 = 0.744 g
→ S" = 2$3 )1.671* = 1.114 g
→ S = 2$3 )0.744* = 0.496 g
7. Ta:
T! = ,- ℎ/0 = 0.016)4 x 3.6 x 3.28* .2
= 0.51396 seconds

→ Since SDS ≥ 0.5 g ; SDC = D (for risk category II)

Since T = 0.51396 sec. >0.5 ; determine ‘k’ by linear interpolating between k = 2 @
2.5 sec. & k = 1.0 sec.
Letting: T = x, k = y;
